Classroom websites

The value of a classroom website is often over looked. In an age where people are constantly on the internet, it only makes sense to make and maintain a classroom website. The key is to maintain and update the site. Time after time, I see websites that go neglected. 

In my humble opinion, utilizing a website makes life a little easier. It's a great way to post homework, announcements and other items that may be of value to both students and parents. Also, by utilizing a website and posting class work on there, can help foster independence amoung your students. Instead of a student asking for another copy of a worksheet, they can go to the website and print their own.

Websites, can also be very valuable for parents to stay up to date with their students class work. Knowing what's due and when can help parents stay active in their students school work. Also,  a website is an easy way for parents to be aware of their students class work and answer their own questions before emailing a teacher.
